According to Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis and his associates, Apple will continue to include Lightning to 3.5mm adapter in the box of next year’s iPhone. This newest report contradicts a report from Mac Otakara back in February claiming the newest additions to the iPhone line won’t ship with a wireless charger, USB-C cable or a Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter.

“We believe [the adapter] stays this year but goes away at some point, potentially in the 2018 model,” reads the research note.

Currently Apple bundles the adapter with every iPhone 7 purchase, but also sells the tiny adapter online for $9.
